།གང་ཞིག་རྒྱལ་བའི་བསྟན་པ་འབའ་ཞིག་གི།
།དབང་བྱས་རྣམ་གཡེང་མེད་ཡིད་ཅན་གྱིས་བཤད།
།ཐར་པ་ཐོབ་པའི་ལམ་དང་རྗེས་མཐུན་པར།
།དེ་ཡང་དྲང་སྲོང་བཀའ་བཞིན་སྤྱི་བོས་བླང་།

Dege, PHI, 144

Whatever is said by those with undistracted minds
Who recognize the victor alone as their teacher
And accords with the path of the accumulations for attaining liberation
Should be respected as much as [the words of] the seer.

When the Clouds Part, Brunnhölzl, 458 ^[3]

Ce que, relevant uniquement des enseignements du Vainqueur,

Un esprit libre de distraction explique

En accord avec la voie qui mène à la libération,

On le porte au sommet de sa tête comme la parole du Sage.

Following this verse, DP and C insert several headings that are absent in the Sanskrit (DP omits the first one here and also the one for V.25), but derived from V.26–28. When available, I follow the text of these headings in DP, with phrases in "( )"being added by the translator. The present heading is a slight modification of Takasaki (1966a, 384) according to the following headings in DP.
Skt. pratibhā, which can also mean "boldness" or "audacity"; thus DP "self-confidence" (spobs pa).
DP omit "the words of."
The words in "[ ]"are found in DP.
